Visit Florida


'What Day Is It? Who Cares.'

Florida is the home of diverse holidays, with something for everyone to enjoy and the option to combine relaxing beach days and action-packed adventures for the ultimate getaway. Orlando is the obvious place to start for thrills, premium shopping and unique dining experiences. But, if you venture beyond the theme park gates you will discover even more places to make unforgettable memories.


Aquatic fanatics will love Florida Keys’ marine experiences, including snorkelling and swimming with dolphins; culture vultures will adore Florida’s galleries and museums, such as the Salvador Dali Museum in St Petersburg and the trendy Design District in Miami. History buffs will be fascinated by Florida’s colonial past and families will enjoy Florida’s pristine beaches and vast array of activities, from museums to pirate cruises and everything in-between.


Head to Miami’s glorious beaches or choose to relax off the beaten track to get into the holiday frame of mind. Santa Rosa Beach is a peaceful place to unwind in a tropical setting that is perfect for families. If soaking up the sun whilst listening to the soothing sound of the ocean isn’t your thing, dive below the surface at Dry Tortugas National Park or stay above the waves and paddleboard in Bahia Honda State Park. Then slow down the pace and re-centre with beach yoga on Anna Maria Island or head for a romantic meal or family dinner at one of Florida’s world-class restaurants serving dishes inspired by each corner of the world.


Florida is also a haven for sports enthusiasts: golfers will find prime golf courses including Greg Norman’s International course at ChampionsGate and Innisbrook in the St. Petersburg area also offers golfers a challenging course, which is home to the Tampa Bay Championship. Motorsports lovers will be in heaven at Daytona International Speedway, the first motorsport stadium in the world; avid fishers will be spoilt for choice with fishing experiences unlike any others.


At night, Florida comes alive with bars, clubs, discos and comedy clubs. Find something that suits your tastes and dance the night away. Miami is the place to be for an authentic club night out whereas Tampa is perfect for relaxing rooftop drinking and dining with spectacular views.


Offering an abundance of activities and attractions, Florida has so much for even return visitors to discover. Opt for a multi-centre holiday and enjoy exploring a range of areas with their own exclusive sights, perhaps spotting something you would love to experience along the way.


With all the cultural charm of a European holiday, idyllic beaches, magnificent weather, family-friendly resorts and endless places to visit, make your next holiday a fabulous Florida holiday.
